I've been working from home the past 2 days that I felt like I was gonna self combust if I didn't move my arse off the bed (yes I work on my bed). I just had to go out and eat something cold to cool my head. So off to Greenbelt I went.

This October, I went to a feeding program for kids in Pasig. The program is facilitated by Real Life Foundation, an amazing group, helping kids and sponsoring weekly feeding programs for the local kids in Pasig City.

Had myself a little time off to relieve some unwanted stress from work.

Planned this trip way before I thought I'd be swamped with work. Good thing I met the deadlines the Friday before I left. I had to stay at work till 1am Saturday morning just to make sure I can enjoy the weekend. As usual, this is just a teaser post, until I can find time to post everything in detail.

I wish life would be just about traveling and seeing the world. That would have been awesome. Where can I find a job like that?!

I was amazed at these eco friendly motor bikes I saw in the Pinoy Trepreneur fair in Glorietta.

I found out that they can all run using only electricity. Super environment friendly! It will not emit smoke and will only cost you only 13 Php per charge. Isn't that awesome?! At around 25,000 Php, you can have a cute eco-friendly bike to show off to your friends. To think it only costs as much as a cellphone. An IPhone is more expensive.

If I can't go home for my friend's wedding on 10.10.10., i'll be running for Pasig instead (3k only. hehe!). Through the Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP) Foundation, the marathon will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest eco-foot race in the world.

My mom gave me these multivitamin tablets. I'm worried it'll make me eat like a pig, but I fear getting sick more. Esp. now that I will be uber busy at work for the whole of October. I try to remember taking one everyday.

I've always been intrigued by what they call fried ice cream, so when I saw this in Pinoy Trepreneur, I tried it right away! I was having sweets overload that day and I just needed ice cream to complete my day.

My last ice scramble for the day in the Pinoy Trepreneur trade fair, and probably the very one that made me sick was the one from Scramble King. Aside from the fact that it was free, they allowed customers to get as much toppings as we wanted.

This was my second cup of ice scramble at the Pinoy Trepreneur trade fair at Glorietta last September 25. I loved that they poured lots of powedered milk into my cup and a handful of those kisses shaped milk chocolates.

Who would have thought a cup of coffee from 711 could taste oh so good? My friends have always asked me to try this but I always refuse. Know why? I did not like the packaging. I can be superficial like that. Haha.

We were caught by the cool name, Sunzibar. Charm saw it in the internet and thought it would be a nice resto to try. It was hard to find the resto because the resto had no sign in front of the place sporting the Sunzibar name. It was hidden beside a dental clinic and was an unlikely place for such a nice restaurant.

We finally found it around 9am, just in time for breakfast, only to find out it opens at 10:30 am Mondays -Saturdays. The facade was under construction and we thought it was temporarily closed indefinitely. We were heartbroken.

Charm and I were looking for a nice place to eat at, so we decided to go to Leyte Park. We saw the park the night before, when a couple of police officers offered to give us a tour of Tacloban down town while (on their mobile patrol!) looking for Cafe Urbana (now closed according to Stalk Exchange's owners).

My friend Sheilla is due next month and I promised to shoot her and her belly before she gives birth. Yesterday, we had the whole afternoon to shoot, but ended up using only an hour or less because we didn't have enough sunlight to use.

See where 97 Php worth of round trip Cebu Pacific tickets got me! Davao was amazing! I want to post everything soon! But I haven't even started with my Ilocos post yet. Plus, I will be having another trip soon. I'm swamped! But I love it!

I knew I just had Starbucks yesterday and because commercialized coffee has too much calories and they cost a fortune, I try to minimize consumption to at least twice a month (if I can manage that! Haha!).

But today, I just had to fight the calories, 'coz this cup was a treat from my friend Fons. So that's almost a guilt free delicious coffee frappe. :)

We were having a pretty tough day so we decided to have a quick photo walk before it got dark. The Manila South Cemetery was just a couple of blocks away and seemed the best option for some interesting subjects.

I had some sinful cake a while ago! Oh temptations never stop mocking me just when I decide to start losing weight! grrrr! But who am I to resist this Mango Bravo when it stares at me with those beautiful frozen chocolate coated mangoes? :)

We were supposed to go to Cafe Juanita for an afternoon snack only to find out that they only open during lunch and dinner. We walked around Fort looking for a new place to visit when we saw Yogurt Nation. Yogurt Nation just opened when we first visited their place.

My not so little (anymore) cousin, Jami was leaving for the US last May. We had a send off dinner (courtesy of Tita Girly) for her at Kalye Juan in MOA.

We were opting for North Park but Kalye Juan was a more inexpensive alternative. Plus, I honestly think that it was more worth our money (or tita's. Hehe.). I don't think anyone was disappointed, they loved it.

They think I don’t have you. But oh, they are wrong. They couldn’t be more wrong. I used to think so myself but you knocked me back to my senses. In the clarity of my mind, you exposed yourself. Bared everything I’ve been meaning to see and feel. I couldn’t comprehend how it happened that you have always been with me. I was confused, maybe I still am and I tried to substantiate your existence by trying to come up with a concrete rationalization of how you moved me, but I can’t. So I dare not define you. ‘coz you have caught me offguard. you come in many forms. Blend so inconspicuously. I almost didn’t recognize you. Before you came, I thought I knew what your existence meant. I was being confident. I don’t know a thing. I can’t classify you, put you in one box. You are so much bigger than that. So much more complicated despite the notion of your simplicity. I’d like to think I chose you, but the coincidence of my world conspiring to meet yours is much more than my doing. You are beyond my control. I have tried so many times to define how you’ve enchanted me, but I end up with all the wrong explanations. Wrong conclusions. I challenge not your existence for fear of losing you. I want to believe how real you are, how real you make me feel. I wasn’t aware that you can do all these things to me. Make me fly and drown at the same time. I ran out of breath just thinking about you. How your presence and absence put me on the edge. Constantly taunting me. Making me cry for a million different wonderful reasons. I still think I can go on without you. I can. But I choose not to. You turn my world in circles and I’d rather have that, than not be moved at all. Sometimes I don’t understand. Actually, most of the time. I’ve given up on trying to have an absolute explanation of what you are. I can’t define you. How can I not define you? Have I become so stupid that all reasons have escaped me? or maybe, just maybe… I need no reason to have you. Wouldn’t that be a happy thought. all I know is that what you are, is more than my earthly mind could justify. It’s how you make me feel. I can’t explain it. You make me cry and laugh at the same time. If I didn’t know it was your doing, I’d say I was crazy. There is no second that you have left my mind. I can’t escape you no matter how I try. I remember how you made my insides flutter everytime you glimpsed my way and gave me that knowing smile. I still feel that way. Everytime. Oh how you make me feel. It’s everything at the same time. It’s the little things that make me smile, though. How you always manage to make me feel special no matter how useless I can sometimes feel. And you don’t even have to say anything to make me feel that way. It’s the way you whisper in my ear just before I fall deep into slumber. How you watch me sleep and keep me safe until I open my eyes to see you once more. How you dismiss all my imperfections and focus on me. It doesn’t matter how ugly I can be, you always make me feel beautiful. And when I worry about anything or anyone.., I just think about you and realize that what really matters to me is what you think. Nothing else. Just as long as you’re in me, I am safe. Many times I have felt so alone. Sometimes, scared out of my wits. All those times, I’ve held on to you. You kept me company. Kept me safe. I thought you would let go one time and I never felt more in pain. I wanted to let go myself but I couldn’t. it would hurt more to see you go. You are that one thing that makes me breathe. Move. I didn’t think anything or anyone can do that. Especially to me, considering everything I’ve gone through. Still, now I am stronger. I’ve prepared myself in case the world conspires to take you away from me. Fear makes you do that. But you are stronger than fear. So for now, I will linger in your arms. I will let you cradle me until the thought of the possibility that you can fade disappears. Then I will be a child again. Where I will believe that I can have everything if I just pray hard enough.
